Although the owners and chef aren't necessarily thrilled with the quickly formed reputation this new Riverside restaurant has as a barbecue-first destination, it's hard to argue against the quality of the smoked fare being turned out here, particularly on weekends, which resemble a Texas-style cookout. That said, the menu really is quite diverse and there's plenty here to interest diners on the hunt for smoke-free offerings.
